The Leslie Farrell Threadgill Lecture and Artist Series Endowment, held by the Mississippi University for Women Foundation, was established in 1997 by the Threadgill family to honor Mississippi University for Women alumna Leslie Farrell Threadgill. The endowment supports programs to promote family and cultural influences, to advance the artistic and intellectual environment of the university, and to strengthen the cultural bond between the university and the public.
